Rosie Said Something Really Dumb

Rosie O'Donnell said something really dumb on Twitter yesterday.

Whatever, not surprised.

I'm not a huge fan of Rosie, just as I'm not a huge fan of Michael Moore. Because I feel there's a difference between being a progressive activist and being a knee-jerk liberal truth-denying fairytale-believing adult-child.

Life possibly is slightly more sophisticated than this.

But I follow @Rosie on Twitter because she's gotten in some good digs against the current administration among her comically exaggerated, stereotypically liberal digs against everyone she disagrees with.

I'm complicated, you guys. YOU KNEW THAT.

Anyway, yesterday it happened that the White House blocked a number of respected media outlets from its Friday press gaggle, including CNN, the New York Times, BuzzFeed, and the Washington Post, while admitting breitbart.com, foxnews.com, and washingtontimes.com to the briefing.

Completely not related. RIGHT.

Completely AND absolutely. Just saying.

The thing is, here is Rosie's response:

BOYCOTT THE WHITE HOUSE.

How is is that even an officially intelligence-deficient response?

Oh, right. Let's boycott the White House so that only right-wing, @POTUS-friendly outlets have access to White House briefings.

Let's be so delusional as to believe that sympathetic outlets comprise the sum total of news outlets covering the White House and present both sides once they are the sole audience of WH briefings.
